Hi,
For the time being I would like to manage the machine with out-band
IPMI. I just updated the firmware and need I need to set the IP
and
password for the BMC. I can use the IBM IPMI config utility
(lancfg) to
do this but I found this post that hints to a problem if I use the
lancfg tool.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freeipmi-users/2005-11/msg00017.html
Should I just use lancfg to set the ip/passwd or is there a better
way
more freeimpi friendly?
Thanks
Rene

Hey Rene,
Thanks. That verifies atleast why it's failing.

if (dev->io.inband.locate_info.addr_space_id !=
IPMI_ADDRESS_SPACE_ID_SYSTEM_IO)
{
errno = ENODEV;
return (-1);
}
The IBM's use memory mapped io. This is the first machine (that
I've> seen) with memory mapped rather than port based i/o for in-
band IPMI.
A.B., Bala I'll leave this to you to follow up on. Needless to say,
this needs to be fixed. I think logically it shouldn't be too
hard to
add? Just need to map some INB/OUTB calls into read/writes? I
could> give it a shot, but I lack a machine to test on.

Hi Rene,
Could you run the ipmi-locate tool so we can see what exactly
is
on that
machine?

Hi list,
I am very new to IPMI and I am hoping to get some help here.
I have an IBM e325 server on which I am trying to run freeimpi
and
I am
getting the following error when I try to run bmc-info:
src/freeipmi# bmc-info
ipmi_open_inband(): No such device
Here is what i did:
downloaded and installed these packages on a SuSe-9.3 e325.
freeipmi-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
freeipmi-utils-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
freeipmi-devel-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
freeipmi-fish-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
After updating the BMC firmware and the BIOS on the server I
set
up
the
following in BIOS settings.
* Advanced Setup
- Console Redirection
- Console Redirection: On-board COM A
- Baud Rate: 9600
- Console Type: vt100
- Flow Control: CTS/RTS
- Console connection: Direct
- Continue C.R. after POST: On
- Baseboard Management Controller
- Change COM port Setting: Yes
- COM post on BMC: IPMB
Any idea as to what might be the problem?
Thank you
Rene
